The remains of at least 20 bodies have been found in a grave in east Lebanon, near the former headquarters of the Syrian army intelligence, police say.

Excavation teams are continuing work at the grave in the Bekaa Valley and bodies are being taken for DNA testing.

The mass grave is near a former Syrian-run prison, where many Lebanese detainees were held.

Correspondents say dozens of Lebanese disappeared during Syria’s 29 years of military presence.

The Syrian army withdrew in April, after Lebanese and international pressure following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
